Everything seemed to be lining-up perfectly for three Lake Washington High School students as they prepared to share their new knowledge about the dangers of texting while driving. The three seniors began their research in early January by studying eye-opening statistics about TWD. They had grown to feel emotionally connected to Wendy Lerch, the mother of a 19-year-old woman killed in a texting crash south of Olympia last year. Mrs. Lerch had responded to the students' e-mails and she had answered their questions.
This week marked the first anniversary of Heather Lerch's death. And her crumpled car was on display Tuesday, Wednesday and today at Lake Washington High. Seniors Shannon Bebee, Taylor LaFave and Kaylin Wilson had worked hard to make it so. This was the culmination of their project.
But on February 18, another young woman died texting while driving in Heather's hometown. Police say 22-year-old Ashley R. Jones-Davis crossed the center line and struck an oncoming truck. The driver of the truck was not injured.
Rochester, Washington rests on a little more than 2 square miles of land. Yet the town of less than 2,000 people is connected to two TWD fatalities in just short of a year.
No, things didn't line-up quite perfectly for the Lake Washington project. But the very recent loss of Ashley's life heightened the students' sense of urgency for sharing their new message: Don't let an LOL become an OMG.

- Georgia game notes and Carolina game notes.
- The Senator sums up my feelings about any game preview posts quite nicely. If we can't score more than 20 with Stafford, Moreno, and Green, why should we expect things to be any different Saturday? Expect lots of defense and little scoring. In other words, a typical Georgia-South Carolina game, the black hole of offensive production.
- For some in-depth analysis, it doesn't get much better than Chris Brown's take on Spurrier's play action and decreasing effectiveness plus a brief look at the Cock offensive butchering last Thursday night.
- T. Kyle and the Garnet and Black Attack have an amusing tete-a-tete about this Saturday's game. G&BA surprisingly says he would take Rennie if he could grab any single player off UGA's roster. Uh, I've seen your offense. Believe me, you want A.J., not more defense.

Reclined in the twilight of an anti-paradise, the stars of Prada's resort campaign fix us with a seductive stare. At first glance they could be mistaken for angelic beauties, immaculate in a sea of luminous floral prints and jewelled accessories. But there is a darker more powerful side to these women and this story shot by Steven Meisel, a twist in the tale that is quintessentially Prada.

If you have French-Canadian ancestry, as I do, and have tried to trace your family tree back into Quebec or Acadia, you may have encountered difficulties with name changes. When many of the French-speaking people moved to areas where English was the predominant language, they often adopted new surnames that were often based upon their French surnames.
Some were obvious, such as the surname Leblanc being changed to White. Both words mean the same thing. Other changes were a bit more difficult for the non-French-speaking descendant to decode, such as the French name Courtemanche being Anglicized to Shortsleeve. Courtemanche apparently is a nickname derived from the French words court (meaning short) + manche (meaning sleeve).
I once met Boston newsman Joe Shortsleeve and asked him the origins of his name. I had never imagined a French-Canadian connection until he told me.
So how do you determine an ancestor's original name? I would start first at an impressive list of English surnames and their French equivalents at the Quebec Project GenWeb at http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canqc/alias/angloabc.htm.
Note: People are people and each person had his or her own reasons for changing a name. I doubt if the list is 100% accurate but it does list the more common name changes. I am sure there must have been exceptions.

Sylvester Stallone has reportedly wrapped on a small role in Reach Me, an indie drama written and directed by Stallone's Cobra co-star, John Herzfeld. Details on the role of The Expendables star are being kept under wraps, but Variety reports that the story "follows a group of people who all have a connection to a self-help book authored by a reclusive former football coach." Reach Me also stars Nelly, Omari Hardwick, Elizabeth Henstridge, Danny Aiello and Rebekah Chaney.
Herzfeld most recently directed the indie The Death and Life of Bobby Z starring Paul Walker, Laurence Fishburne and Olivia Wilde. Stallone can next be seen in Walter Hill's Bullet to the Head, followed by The Tomb with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Grudge Match opposite Robert De Niro.

As promised, here are some photos which I managed to take in my lunch hour today. Luckily the sun was shining and it was dry. I took the chance to take a look at the Old Operating Theatre which houses a medical museum as well as the operating theatre that was built in 1822. It is obviously not the one the Keats would have known, but is very similar.
I hope those of you on this forum who live far from London will be able to enjoy these pictures.
This is the blue plaque marking the house at St Thomas Street where Keats had lodgings as a medical student.
The facade of Guy's and St Thomas's Hospital. I had my first ever operation here when my wisdom teeth were taken out under a general anaesthetic. I'm so glad I was born in the twentieth century.
Here is the little alcove with the statue of John Keats by sculptor Stuart Williamson. I like the statue very much as I think the artist has captured the poet's refined features and sensitive soul rather well. What do you think?
There is more information about Stuart Williamson and his work at the following website:
I believe he has busts of Keats available for purchase in a limited edition. There is also more about the unveiling of the statue at Guy's here:

More than 40 years ago, Simon and Garfunkle sang their famous lament, "Where have you gone, Joe Dimaggio?" Judging by recent news reports, maybe today's question should be, "Where have you gone, Harry Truman?" Truman's "the buck stops here" perspective on executive accountability seems to be sadly missing from the current age.
Did He Really Just Say That?
For the past few weeks, the"phone hacking" scandal centering around News Corporation executives has been plastered across front pages around the world. I have to admit that I hadn't been paying too much attention to the details until News Corp's CEO, Rupert Murdoch appeared before parliament in London the other day. Acknowledging that he was "shocked, appalled, and ashamed" by the tumult engulfing his global media empire and which casts a pall over Scotland Yard, among other institutions, a chastened Murdoch said, "This is the most humble day of my life."
Fair enough. If he had stopped there, it would have been Continue reading

I auctually textured it earlier but I am going to add some more just to show you how to do it. 2 After finding a good texture that you would like to use bring that into your photoshop file. honestly it does not really matter what texture you use so be open to using anything. I chose some beat up contrete. 3 Once getting the texture into photoshop I adjust the levels on it so the darks are more defined. Go to image/adjustments/levels now I the textures layer mode to soft light and change the layers opacity to 25. Create a new layer above the texture layer to paint on. 4 My custom brush tutorial http://www.idigitalemotion.com/tutorials/guest/custombrush/custombrush.html ( keep in mind that the value you paint the custom brush with will be the value it paints at when used ) Now use some customs brushes if you have any and if now create some or just use any of photoshops brushes. now just paint on the layer above the texture while constantly using alt to pick up the various values and hues the texture gives you. Getting this kind of variety fast in your values and hues is real nice. Be careful that you don't stray to far from your already set base value or you will end up with a mess. I hope this is helpful Back to top seth1memberMember #Joined: 06 Jun 2004Posts: 534 Posted: Tue May 31, 2005 7:18 pm Heh, looking wicked chris! Thanks for showing us how you paint!

Thanks! And I may mess around with presets to see what they actually do. Oh yea the pic's looking great btw, only thing I could point out is how the mech's "chestplate" is a little confusing, probably due to the geometry, perhaps it could use some better definition _________________Derelict Studios|Godwin's Space Back to top SynnicalmemberMember #Joined: 28 May 2005Posts: 177Location: Toronto, Canada Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 11:25 am thanks for these tips, Chris! I realized that I still have much to learn about photoshop the robot is coming together nicely..looking forward to it. I am amazed that you have the patience to manage all those layers btw, I was wondering how you did the perspective lines above the robot, plus the gradient on them... I have seen it before but I still can't figure it out. Back to top Chris-MayernikmemberMember #Joined: 24 Feb 2004Posts: 182Location: USA Posted: Wed Jun 01, 2005 3:59 pm Remember what I said about controlling the darks? haha well I made a huge mistake with the shadows. They were much to dark before and did not take into accounnt the reflected light. If you look outside on a sunny day you will see that all the shadows are in order. When I say order I mean the tree shadow falling accross the grass and then onto the street. To shadow on the grass feels just right as the shadow on the street. now the thing to know is that they are equaly lowered in value according to the light. The only thing that will change the value is the reflectivity of the material it falls on, the reflected light being cast into the shadow, or another light source. Let me try to explain it better. Here is a image I painted to explain what I mean. now the tree is in the way at the angle we are viewing so the path below it is slightly lowered towards it's base value, which is the value it has when no reflection is effecting it. This is a real quick sketch but I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Also I should mention that blacks and the dark darks should be used lightly. In a dark room at night with just a little light allowing you to see you will notice that any low base value objects such as dark blue pillow cases will be lowered in value and highered in saturation. Only if the pillow is 1 foot away from you and somehow is not recieving any light will you paint it black. most of the objects in the room will fall from 3 to 10 and then a couple 0 - 3 accents will be located only in places such as - in between objects that are close together - cracks such as below a door way into a closet. -a object greatly covered from the light. - an object with a low natural value. an object with a low natural value such as a black chair will have more dark accents because they come about easier with the already low value. Even at 5 feet away I doubt you will ever see a black and as you look at things farther away the darks become lighter. Now I'm just explaining what happens inside with little light. Try to imagine what its like outside with a great light source and lots of light bouncing around. Yea you won't find many dark darks. ok I hope this helps. if you have any questions or want to prove that my thinking is wrong please go ahead.

Partnership Investment Fund Awards $1M to Support Four Promising Biomedical ProductsJune 04, 2012
June 4, 2012 – The Partnership for New York City (PFNYC) today announced that four local scientists have been awarded a total of $1 million to fund the final stages of research on new biomedical products that will be developed in the five boroughs. This is the third round of an annual competition known as the BioAccelerate NYC Prize.
The competition is run by the Partnership's nonprofit Investment Fund, founded by Henry R. Kravis, which is dedicated to business development and job creation throughout New York City. The Fund is capitalized by private contributions from the city's leading corporations and investment firms. Working together with the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC), the Partnership and its Fund have led efforts to build a bioscience industry in the city, resulting in a 74% increase in the number of biotech and health sciences industry jobs in the city from 2005 to 2010.
More than 200 scientists from 12 New York research institutions competed for funding through the BioAccelerate NYC Prize, reflecting the significant level of life sciences research activity underway in the city. This year's scientists will each be awarded $250,000 to assist in bringing their products to market in New York City. Each winner is also provided with a highly experienced mentor, to help with the process of commercialization and business development.
"We are fortunate to have some of the world's finest scientists and researchers call New York home. The BioAccelerate NYC Prize will allow them to accelerate their research and create jobs in our communities." said Maria Gotsch, President & CEO of the Partnership's Investment Fund. "By encouraging some of the brightest New Yorkers to stay in the city, and others to come to our city, we can develop the next wave of innovative bioscience products right here in the five boroughs."
"We are pleased to join with the Partnership for New York City on this important prize," said NYCEDC President Seth W. Pinsky. "By providing the critical funding necessary for scientists to turn their innovative technologies into commercially viable products, together we are helping to create new businesses and additional jobs that provide a major boost to our emerging bioscience sector and our economy as a whole."
"For too long, New York was a global leader in medical research and discovery, but failed to maximize the economic benefits of making the resulting products locally," stated Kathryn Wylde, President & CEO of PFNYC. "We are determined that New York ideas should be commercialized right here at home, which requires the financing and entrepreneurial support that the BioAccelerate Prize provides."
The winners were selected after a competitive process in which all applicants were vetted by venture capitalists and senior executives from the life science industry
Dr. Michael Ohlmeyer, Mount Sinai School of Medicine: Dr. Ohlmeyer is working on adapting a gene called FOX-1, which functions as a tumor suppressor. In certain very aggressive cancers such as breast and ovarian, the FOX-1 protein is unable to naturally suppress tumors. Dr. Ohlmeyer and his team have identified a number of compounds that can assist FOX-1 to better resist aggressive cancers and utilize its tumor suppressing function in cells. Dr. Ohlmeyer and his team are being mentored by Dr. Laura Philips, a board member at Delcath Systems.
"Mount Sinai is very proud of Dr. Ohlmeyer and his team for the distinguished BioAccelerate prize through the Partnership for New York City and the New York City Investment Fund," stated Kenneth L. Davis, MD, President and CEO of The Mount Sinai Medical Center. "The innovative technologies' being developed here at Mount Sinai and across New York City paired with promising ventures like PFNYC is a promising model for translating discovery to the market."

Travelling to Mars and hibernating like a brown bear
Manned missions beyond the Moon are no longer wild dreams. For example, the objective of ESA's Aurora programme, after exploring Mars with robotic missions, is to send astronauts to the red planet.
Engineers are already considering the space systems that will be required, from the spacecraft and propulsion systems to the life support systems, for journeys that will last 6-9 months.
In the longer term, to destinations further afield than Mars, missions could take years. During the long coasts between destinations, with automatic systems in control, astronauts would face the challenge of living in a confined space with not much to do for an extremely long periods. "Might as well sleep it off!"
Studies initiated by ESA's Advanced Concepts Team have gone one step further. Wouldn't it be nice if astronauts could hibernate!
EuroNews has met two biologists who are conducting, as ESA consultants, investigations into the physiological mechanisms that mammals use to hibernate.
There are marked differences between species. A dormouse goes into a deep sleep with its body temperature dropping close to zero and its metabolism dramatically suppressed. During its 'winter sleep', a brown bears hibernates at near normal body temperature. Its heart rate drops by a quarter and it will spend 3-7 months in a state of torpor, neither eating, drinking, defecating or urinating.
For the past two years, Prof. Marco Biggiogera, at the Animal Biology Department at the University of Pavia in Italy has been studying how an opiate derivative inhibits the activity of living cells.
"The molecule DADLE is similar to others we have in the human brain and resembles one of the hibernation triggering proteins in hibernators. It can reduce the energy required by cells, whether isolated in cultures, or present in other animals or organisms," explains Prof. Biggiogera.
"We would very much like to understand its basic mechanisms, and with this knowledge attempt to recreate a state of hypo-metabolism in an animal, and perhaps even one day in a human, although this is really far away."
Also involved in this study is the University of Verona. There the DADLE molecule is injected in a rodent, specially equipped with sensors to measure its body temperature, heart rate and other vital activities. After comparing the animal's behaviour with that of a normal rat, the test subject's main organs are scanned to observe any changes.
"Our preliminary results show that four hours after a DADLE injection, the body temperature drops notably and the rat is considerably less active," says Prof. Carlo Zancanaro.
"Eventually we could adapt these hibernation triggering processes, using chemicals or by other means, to animals such as rats who do not normally hibernate. But concerning humans, we are still at an extremely early stage."
The research could also lead to far-reaching applications in the medical field such as prolonging the useful life of a transplant organ or even heart-transplant operations while patients are in a state of hypo-metabolism.
Reducing the physical and psychological requirements of an astronaut crew to a minimum without jeopardising its safety would greatly simplify many aspects of a long-duration space mission.
For instance, less food and water would be required, as would the amount of pressurised space and other environmental features the astronauts would require to maintain their psychological health. This would allow large reductions in spacecraft mass, relaxing the requirements on the propulsion subsystem.
Additionally, the astonaut's ability to hibernate would have a significant benefit in abort and emergency scenarios. Of course, a suitable and lightweight 'hibernaculum' to shelter astronauts during their 'long sleep' would have to be designed.
The concept is not being considered for the forthcoming Mars mission, but for longer missions to farther destinations such as the outer planets, it could be a very useful technology. Hibernation for humans is an ethically controversial concept, and critics may consider it as a mad scientist's dream. Prof. Biggiogera replied with a smile: "Without such dreamers, humanity would still be in the Middle Ages."

Jenna Bush Hager is expecting a baby in the spring.
The "Today" correspondent and daughter of former President George W. Bush revealed the good news Wednesday on NBC's morning show.
"We're so excited and obviously nervous about it. I'm a first time mom," Bush said.
U.S. & World
Henry Hager, Jenna's husband of four years, dropped by the show with flowers for the reveal and said that the 31-year-old's teaching background would help make her a great mom.
Jenna Bush Hager's parents, who have been outspoken about wanting grandchildren, phoned into "Today" for the big announcement.
George W. Bush said he was "fired up" by his daughter's news and Laura Bush added she was "definitely" in favor of spoiling grandchildren.
During the phone call, Jenna referred to her father as "popsicle." The former president was asked what he would want his new grandchild to call him.
"Sir," Bush deadpanned.

World's tallest tower, Tokyo Skytree, opens
Approximately twice the height of the Eiffel Tower, the 634-meter, ¥65 billion (US$806 million) Tokyo Skytree opened to the public on Tuesday.
Tickets to climb the Tokyo Skytree are hard to come by -- individual tickets are sold out through mid-July, leaving visitors keen to ride up the capital's newest landmark waiting until summer at least.
Alternatively, for those wanting their own vantage points of the Tokyo Skytree, here's our guide to getting a classic photo of the structure.
With gray skies and rain across Tokyo on Tuesday, it might be best to wait awhile anyway -- local TV news spent much of the morning rolling shots of the first Skytree visitors getting little but cloud for their money.
Worth the wait
Tokyo Skytree's construction was delayed after the March 2011 earthquake affected the delivery of supplies to the building site. The structure was completed two months late, on February 29, 2012.
The new tower, whose construction began in July 2008, surpasses China's Canton Tower (600 meters high) as the world's tallest tower, but is still nearly 200 meters shy of Dubai's 830-meter Burj Khalifa skyscraper, the tallest manmade structure ever built.
Tokyo Skytree will provide services for digital radio and TV transmission, as well as an aquarium, theater, academic institutes and regional heating and cooling facilities.
It will also give visitors a chance to gaze across the city.
Two observatories are open to the public, at 350 meters and 450 meters. The latter features an "air corridor" -- a glassed-in outer walkway.
Simulations have shown Tokyo Skytree is able to withstand an 8.0-magnitude earthquake, according to Hirotake Takanishi, PR manager for the Tobu Tower Skytree holding company.
Trinkets and trivia
The lower observation platform houses a restaurant and shops, many of which sell something related to the tower's 634-meter height.
Highlights include various 63.4-centimeter scale models of the structure -- most plastic, but at least one edible version made of kimchi fried rice, believe it or not -- and 634-gram onigiri rice balls (they cost ¥634, naturally).
History buffs will, doubtless, be excited to hear that 6-3-4 can also be read in Japanese as "Musashi," the name of the Tokyo area from around the eighth century.
There's no shortage of souvenirs playing on that fact in tourist stores in the area, of course.
Lastly, Musashi has also been appropriated for the name of the classy-looking restaurant on the Skytree's lower observation deck. It serves French, not Japanese, food for some reason we've yet to grasp.
Getting there
The Tokyo Skytree can be accessed from Tokyo Skytree Station on the Tobu Isesaki Line or Oshiage Station on the Hanzomon and Asakusa subway lines.
The best times to visit will be winter days in January and February, when Tokyo's usual haze is minimal, or at night when the skyline, as well as the tower itself, lights up.
Prices to the first deck: Adults: ¥2,000, students ¥1,500, children ¥900, preschoolers ¥600. Tickets to the second deck attract an additional fee and are sold only on the day. Go to www.tokyo-skytree.jp for more information.

Updated: Originally published in March 2012, this story has been updated to track the progress of the Skytree through its May 22 opening date.

This is aimed at the gaming population at large. This fetish you have for hating on EA needs to stop. You are doing nothing to solve the problem, in fact you're making people like me that agreed with you jump ship and stop caring.
This constant complaining about Origin, EA, and all things "terrible" about the company at large was one that I was mostly in on at the beginning. When EA bought Bioware, I was apprehensive. When Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age 2 came out, I was right there with everyone displeased with the design decisions in both. I was at a loss at how fundamentally each RPG had turned into some weird fusion of shooters and fancy (read: limited) dialogue wheels.
When they started beating the Battlefield license for everything it was worth, I was worried.
When they royally nuked the Medal of Honor franchise, I was upset.
When they released the awful Command and Conquer 4 and then never released the probably terrible free-to-play Command and Conquer, I was really pissy.
Yet, as I write this, I harbor little ill-will over the whole thing. Why? You all turned me against you. Being mad is one thing, but acting like EA is a bane on the industry is wrong. I know more than anyone how much EA has nuked franchises. I'm a fan of the Battlefield, Medal of Honor, Command and Conquer, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Crysis, and SimCity franchises and every single one of them has experienced the same thing; they all made questionable design decisions that ended up hurting the game severely. I feel like I'm quite qualified (more so than many people on the internet) to be angry at EA.
I'm not though, because we've got a whole world of video games outside of EA. Sure, they butchered my favorite franchises, but I'm tired of people being pissy at them for every little thing.
I constantly hear about how terrible Origin is, when in reality it's one of the most stable game delivery platforms I've had the pleasure of using (*stares at UPlay*). It doesn't have many deals or a vast library of games, but it's a pretty good client for my EA account that I rarely used.
I constantly hear about how EA is the worst company in... America was it? Anyway, it's a load. For how many of my favorite franchises EA has destroyed, it's hard to not give them credit for two things: new franchises and being one of the frontrunners in the gaming industry. Compare EA to companies like Namco-Bandai (damn right I'll still call them that), Activision, Nintendo, and any number of companies. New IPs are excessively dangerous: They cost a lot and they have a chance of basically no returns. EA has managed to consistently deliver new IPs on a fairly regular basis, and they usually turn out really well.
Furthermore, EA is a frontrunner in the gaming scene. They set the tones for the year to come both on the consumer-side and the financial-side. They've, for better or worse, helped make gaming into a sprawling business that is far more accepted as an entertainment medium than even ten years ago. If EA were to suddenly collapse, it would send violent shockwaves through the industry. People don't seem to understand this.
Will this ever completely make up for their murdering of my favorite franchises? Hell no it won't, but the sense of entitlement and ridiculous hate I see delivered to EA on a daily basis is really out of hand. I'm willing to bet that a great number of people doing it never experienced the same franchise murdering that many of us haters at the beginning did (I'm at nine!). EA hate is popular now because it's "cool". It's ridiculous because that's clearly not what I wanted to happen when I joined the EA hate years ago.
I'm not an EA hater anymore. I'm not really an EA fan, but I'm at least willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's not because EA suddenly got better, but because the hate has eclipsed the actual hate deserved.
Effectively, you (you know who you are) made me do this. You hated EA so much that you're turning people against you. Stop it. Speak with your wallet and don't buy their games if you're mad, there's an entire gaming industry out there.

The first Baltimore location of Nando's Peri-Peri, an informal Afro-Portuguese restaurant specializing in flame-grilled chicken, will open on Baltimore and Paca streets on March 20. The location is close by the University of Maryland and around the corner from the Hippodrome.
Founded in Johannesburg in 1987, the worldwide chicken chain made its U.S. debut in 2008 in Washington and has added nine stores in the D.C. metropolitan area since. A Nando's opened at the Waugh Chapel Towne Centre Gambrills last December, and another has been announced for the Cordish Cos.' Towson Square project.
Nando's is known for its marinated and flame-grilled Peri-Peri chicken, which is basted to order with a customer's preferred flavor and spice.

Making sense: Market reports all over the place
There's been a fair amount of coverage lately about market reports and how their findings stack up against projections. Nationally, most of the attention has focused on the Case-Shiller third quarter indices, which are calculated based on data of repeat sales of single-family homes culled from various markets. According to a post on ZeroHedge.com, all three Case-Shiller indices showed a decline, with one of them falling short of projections for the fourth consecutive month.
As some local realtors point out, however, this index is based on a small number of metropolitan areas that don't share many similarities with our market.
Point taken, although local reports don't necessarily yield any more clarity.
According to the Charlottesville Area Association of Realtors' third quarter report, the current "float down" in local inventory is indicative of a return to a balanced market, one that offers advantages to neither buyers nor sellers. Declining inventory– effected by fewer new listings, lower median sales prices, and historically low mortgage rates– indicates a return to stabilization, says CAAR. Since lower inventory means reduced competition, if the number of new listings and foreclosures remains steady, the weak selling prices currently found throughout our area should begin to strengthen as demand increases.
Not necessarily so, counters the Charlottesville Bubble Blog, where a recent post cites a Wall Street Journal article suggesting that declining inventory is more likely due to sellers (particularly those with negative equity) pulling their homes off the market than to a return to market health. Other factors– the time of year, the increasing appeal of renting rather than buying, and the number of homeowners quietly heading into foreclosure– may also contribute to the decrease in new listings.
Nest Realty also released its third quarter report, stating that sales in the greater Charlottesville area are holding steady with sales in both the Charlottesville and Albemarle markets showing increases despite the declining prices and increasing inventory in our area.
Huh? Didn't the CAAR report say that inventory was decreasing?
It's true, as CAAR reported, that active inventory is down compared to this time last year. And it's also true, as both reports indicate, that sales of attached homes and condos are up slightly, which helps account for the fact that overall sales in the greater Charlottesville area have held steady.
The difference in their assertions, as the Bubble Blog pointed out, lies in their interpretations of the data.
The CAAR report analyzes the market as a whole. A calculation of months of inventory using the figures listed in their report clearly indicates a decrease.
The Nest report, however, analyzes individual market sectors. Although sales of condos and attached units are up, inventory is also up over third quarter last year. And sales of single-family homes are down, which translates to less absorption and more months of inventory.
So that answers one question, but here's another: why do both the Case-Shiller and Nest Realty reports place so much emphasis on single-family homes?
According to Jim Duncan of Nest Realty, single-family homes represent the final evolution in the home-buying process and have traditionally comprised the bulk of the local housing inventory.
"It wasn't until a couple of years ago," he points out, "that so many condos entered the market as a result of conversions."
But what about all those condo sales? Don't they mean anything?
Condos and attached units may appeal to first-time buyers or to those discouraged by the dearth of suitable, affordable detached houses, but most organizations analyzing market health use sales of single-family homes, not condos, as a benchmark for their analyses.
Confusing? Definitely! As the Nest report says, signals continue to be mixed.Read more on: local real estate

Jan Palmer: A Retrospective
August 8 - September 13, 2020
Add Next Date to Calendar
"I am now in my eighth decade, still actively painting and each week trying new ideas and new ways to paint the old ideas. My style is painterly representation with the object of focus often handled in some detail against a freely painted background and with light a most important element. Because I had a foot in each discipline (fine art art and illustration) one is bound to influence the other. I want a portrait to be more than a likeness; I want it to express a mood or an idea. If it's a portrait of an old house I want to tell a story of its past family life. Landscapes, more frequently than not, have a figure in them. Living and painting in the Adirondacks has made me feel a kinship with a long line of realist painters who have been inspired by this beautiful area."
- Jan Palmer

Medical Terminology: A Word Association Approach
This course teaches medical terminology from an anatomical approach. Root terms are divided by each body system. The origin, a combined form, and an example of non-medical everyday usage is provided for each root term. Word Associations are provided as a learning tool. Unusual and interesting information is provided in regards to each term. Root terms are combined with prefixes and suffixes as your learning will culminate in the interpretation of several paragraphs of medical notes.
Medical Terminology II: A Focus on Human Disease
Take a journey through the human body and learn medical terminology related to all 11 of its organ systems. In this course, we discuss diseases of the cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, nervous, skeletal, muscular, integumentary (skin), urinary, digestive, and male and female reproductive systems. We also go over different diagnostic and treatment procedures for each system. As you progress through the course, you'll learn the meaning of many prefixes, root words, and suffixes, and you'll greatly increase your medical terminology vocabulary!
Each lesson starts with a brief overview of the organs in that lesson's organ system. From there, we move on to terminology related to a number of different diseases, diagnostic procedures, and treatment techniques. For each term, you'll learn the meaning of its word parts, as well as the term's definition. There's also a pronunciation guide for the term, an example of its correct usage, and important information you should know related to the disorder, diagnostic procedure, or treatment. Most of the terms include a graphic to help you visualize the material.
Each lesson also comes with an alphabetized glossary that summarizes all of the medical terms in the lesson so you can have them at your fingertips, as well as a course index so you can quickly locate a term anywhere in the course.
To reinforce your learning, the lessons include activities and assignments designed to give you additional practice in understanding and remembering the medical terminology taught in this course. By the end of this course, you'll find that you have greatly increased your knowledge of medical terminology as well as broadened your understanding of human disease!
Series bundles are not eligible for partial drops or refunds. Transfers to other open sessions of the same course are available. Please refer to your school for additional details regarding drops, transfers, and refunds on Series bundles.

Let's talk potatoes, the classic comfort food.
They remind many of us of childhood, family and celebratory meals. And they're essential for a plate decorated with slices of turkey and adorned with the colourful vegetables of the season.
Making a perfect mashed potato may seem simple, but having taught many young apprentice cooks in the "vegetable" class at SAIT, I know things can get gluey and lumpy if a few simple rules aren't followed.
It all starts with choosing the right potato. For fluffy and lump-free mashes you need a "mealy" potato, not a "waxy" potato. Mealy potatoes essentially have more starch and could include the russet potato, a Yukon gold or, if you want to really shake things up, a purple potato.
We planted purple potatoes in our garden this year and they were a huge hit with our three-year-old, Maddie. Said child has declared them the best mashed potatoes she's ever tasted and the most beautiful!
Waxy potatoes, like new potatoes or red skinned varieties, aren't the best choice for mashing. Their cell structure is different, so they tend to hold moisture and give you an undesirable gluey texture instead of the fluffy consistency you're aiming for with mashed potatoes.
The next "rule" for a fluffier mash is preheating your flavour ingredients (milk or cream and butter) and then adding those ingredients to the potatoes while the potatoes are still hot.
One last tip is to use the right tools.
A good old-fashioned potato masher will do the trick, or you could invest in a food mill or potato ricer to get even better results. Avoid using a stand mixer, as this damages the cell structure of the potato and can create a gluey consistency.
This recipe for Mashed Potatoes with Brie produces a decadent, creamy mash. I have even used cream cheese or goat cheese in place of the brie, as both offer a similar texture and mildness. But if you are watching your waistline, just remember to go easy on the portions.
Mashed Potatoes with Brie
8cups (2L)cubed peeled russet potatoes
2 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup (125 mL) hot milk
1/4 cup (50 mL) butter
1/2 tsp (2 mL) thyme, crumbled
1/4 tsp (1 mL) nutmeg
1/4 tsp (1 mL) salt
1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) cayenne pepper
8 oz (250 g) brie cheese, rind removed, cubed
Cook potatoes and garlic in boiling salted water until tender; drain.
Add next 6 ingredients (hot milk through cayenne pepper). Mash with a potato masher until smooth.
Stir in brie until almost melted.
Serves 8.

Do You Know? - Top Content Marketing Challenges
Consistent Content Creation: Publishing new created content daily is enough to burn out your marketing team, as well as a hole in your pocket, with a limited staff and budget. Marketers have a hard time balancing consistent production of fresh content with the resources they have at hand. Without consistent content production, your content can get buried under the thousands of articles written every day, where your readers may never see it.
Limited Staff: Readers expect fresh, relevant content every day, but marketing professionals are tasked with other responsibilities. With a limited staff, it can be difficult for businesses to produce enough content to keep up with competitors. If your content can't keep up, your readers will go elsewhere for information.
Limited Budget: Outsourcing to freelancers or paying your staff overtime to create original content creates additional costs for marketers. Constantly researching and writing articles from scratch could break the bank for some businesses.
